Ukrainian music legend says Liverpool is 'the Paris of the UK'

A Ukrainian music legend has said Liverpool is "the Paris of the UK."

Award-winning singer, philanthropist and presenter of Dancing With the Stars Ukraine and The Voice Ukraine coach Tina Karol was in Liverpool city centre today ahead of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest. Liverpool was announced as the host city of Eurovision in 2022, after winners Ukraine could not hold the competition for safety and security reasons due to the ongoing invasion by Russia.

As a result, the UK, who placed second last year with Sam Ryder's Space Man, are hosting the show this year. In 2022, Tina performed the Ukrainian national anthem in Liverpool at a friendly match between Kyiv Dynamo and Everton.
